About New Hanson Shepherd's Huts
Set on a hill sheep farm by the edge of a woodland, surrounded by nature, these two traditional shepherd's huts, Lily and Fern, offer a romantic, rustic and relaxing way to holiday.
You'll find it easy to relax in the cosy huts for two, each equipped with a double bed along with fresh linen, comfy mattresses, a wood-burning stove and battery-operated lighting. It's the ideal escape for couples or singles who want to unwind in a rural hideaway and as a base to explore the surrounding area.
A gas camping stove and BBQ are supplied for simple meals, or guests can order a breakfast hamper delivered to their door. There are several pubs within the surrounding villages too.
For those guests who wish to bring their four-legged friend, the Lily shepherd's hut is dog friendly - so they too can enjoy the delights of the Peak District at no extra cost!

A note from the site themselves...
Tim and I have lived at New Hanson Grange for 36 years, where we have raised our family. Flora, fauna and a love of the countryside have always been a passion for us.
In 2011, in addition to our already successful self-catering Bungalow, we decided to diversify into traditional shepherd hut Glamping, where "Lily", our pet-friendly hut, was born from this, closely followed by "Fern" two years later.
The woodland is ever-changing, with snow on the ground and frosty branches. In Winter, it has been likened to a scene out of Narnia, while Autumn brings a blaze of colour. We invite you to stay in our cosy shepherd huts, " a place for all seasons," and reconnect with nature and enjoy our corner of the Peak District and take away some memories of your own.
A pet friendly shepherd hut with double bed, wood burning stove, battery powered lanterns, gas stove, kettle, BBQ and crockery and pans. Shared facilities close by.

What a joy to share Linda and Tom's piece of paradise! Their hospitality adds a good measure of local friendliness. In the enchanting silence of a moonlit night, the pastures breathe restoration.
My daughter joined me and we could not spend a better day together elsewhere. The lovely landscape is laced with hiking trails and cycling paths. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Shepherd's Hut - Fern Shepherd's Hut (Pet Free) Mar 2023
We stayed for 4 nights and could have stayed longer. The hut was so cosy, clean and well equipped, the perfect base to explore the Peak District.
The Tissington trail is just over the road with many more walks accessible by foot or short car journey. Tim and Linda had prepared everything perfectly and the breakfast hamper was a lovely touch, a great way to start the day.
The shower and toilet facilities were great, clean and private. There is also a fridge and washing up area.
We had such a great stay and I keep thinking about the comfy bed and crackling fire now I'm back home! Would really really recommend.

Shepherd's Hut - Lily Shepherd's Hut (Pet Friendly)Apr 2024
Linda was fabulous, had log burner lit for our arrival. The shepherds hut was beautiful and the setting was truly idyllic. I couldn't have wished for a nicer more relaxing weekend, even our pointer was chilled. We can't wait to go back .
